Abstract: A system for delivering invoices over the SWIFT Network to a community of buyers comprises an invoice viewer at each buyer's location, each connected to a shared data center over the Internet. The shared data center comprises a SWIFT interface and BIC for receiving, and a database for storing, invoice objects for each buyer. At a first invoice object includes identification of a first buyer and at least a second invoice object includes identification of a second buyer. A group of buyer records associated each unique buyer with unique access credentials. A delivery application provides a connecting buyer's invoice objects in response to a web services call from the connecting buyer. An invoice viewer generates the web services call, receives the response, and renders a user interface displaying information from each interface object.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a component using a tool includes determining an actual property of a region of the component, comparing the actual property of the region of the component with an expected property of the region to determine a difference between the actual property and the expected property, and updating a path of the tool that is electronically stored in a memory and executable by a processor for fabricating the component based on the difference between the actual property and the expected property of the region.

Abstract: A rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine operates with reduced circumferential rim stress. The rotor assembly includes a rotor including a plurality of rotor blades and a radially outer platform. The rotor blades extend radially outward from the platform. A root fillet extends circumferentially around each blade between the blades and platforms. The platforms include an outer surface including a plurality of indentations extending between adjacent rotor blades. Each indentation extends from a leading edge of the platform to a trailing edge of the platform with a depth that tapers to an approximate zero depth at the trailing edge.
